Interesting fact
The 1 Tala (Aphrodite) 2016 coin from Samoa is a unique and interesting coin due to its depiction of the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, on its obverse side. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. It is made of gold (.585) and weighs 0.5 grams, making it a small but valuable coin. The fact that it features a mythological figure from ancient Greece on its front side, while having a modern, gold-colored back side with the denomination and country name, makes it a fascinating blend of ancient and modern elements.
